Pitch invasions after a Leinster Final! There was 80000 at it too.

They won’t break 40,000 next week. Could be less than 30,000. Dublin will win pulling up.

Its a pity the attendances have fallen away but its also a pity Croke Park isn't just reserved for the Leinster Final at this time. I'm all for the pragmatic approach but Tullamore or Nolan Park could have taken our game. Granted you may lose a few of the Croker or nowhere brigade but the appetite for a potential Leinster Final v Meath/Kildare would be invigorated.

Fairly enjoyable fare so far. As good as Kildare looked they shifted a huge number of wides. Then again didn"t they always? They are physically stronger. Speedy Manbun Cian is like shit out of a goose but he loses the ball at the end of every swashbuckling run. Kildare should run away with this.

They're two poor teams! Cribbin is one sneaky fook. He knew exactly what he was doing with his knees. McQuillan as ever showing what a sh1te referee he is. Obviously being a consistently sh1te referee isn't seen as a disadvantage in getting to ref senior inter county games.
